Layher UK’s 2024 Open Morning series continued with a highly successful event today at the Eggborough Depot.

Following the well-received kickoff in Leytonstone earlier this year, the Eggborough Open Morning offered industry professionals yet another opportunity to learn about Layher’s cutting-edge scaffolding solutions and forward-thinking approach.

The event began at 9 a.m., and attendees were warmly welcomed with bacon butties, tea, and coffee—a perfect start to a day of learning and networking.

The relaxed atmosphere set the tone for a productive morning, allowing participants to engage in informal conversations before diving into the day’s agenda.

Attendees had the chance to experience hands-on demonstrations of Layher’s innovative products, including the much-discussed Twix Beam and Flex Beam, as well as the established Allround® Modular Scaffolding System.

These practical demonstrations provided a clear understanding of how Layher’s solutions can enhance efficiency and safety on construction sites.

As in previous events, the presentations were a highlight of the morning. Sean Pike, Managing Director of Layher UK, and Des Moore, Layher’s Brand Ambassador, again took the stage to share their extensive industry knowledge.

Sean Pike began by reiterating Layher’s core values and the four ‘S’ promise: Service, Support, Solutions, and Supply. He emphasised how these principles have driven the company’s commitment to providing high-quality scaffolding solutions that cater to projects of all sizes.

Des Moore followed with a compelling presentation from a contractor’s perspective, reinforcing the long-term cost benefits of Layher’s systems. Drawing on his extensive experience with TRAD Scaffolding, Des explained how the initial investment in Layher’s products is not only recouped but often surpassed by the savings in labour and the potential to access new markets.

His insights, particularly on the durability and efficiency of the Allround system, resonated with the audience.

In addition to the new Twix Beam, which has been designed for suspended scaffolding, and the versatile Flex Beam, the event also showcased the Layher Keder XL Roof and other essential products such as loading bays and site stairs.

The practical demonstrations of these products highlighted their potential to improve efficiency and safety on construction sites.

The intimate setting of the Eggborough Depot allowed for meaningful discussions and networking opportunities. Attendees praised the event for its informative presentations and the chance to engage directly with Layher’s team.

To conclude the morning, a fun and interactive quiz was organised, challenging attendees to find deliberate faults in a constructed Layher scaffold. This exercise not only tested their knowledge but also reinforced the importance of safety and precision when working with scaffolding systems.

Reflecting on the success of the event, Sean Pike remarked, “Our goal with these Open Mornings is to foster an environment where professionals can learn, engage, and envision the future of their businesses with our solutions. The turnout and the enthusiasm we’ve seen here in Eggborough are a testament to the growing interest in Layher’s approach.”

The Eggborough event marks the second in a series of Open Mornings that Layher UK has planned across the country. The next stops include Livingston on 26th September and West Brom on 8th October, where Layher is set to continue its mission of empowering the construction industry with innovative scaffolding solutions.
